answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/09/2022 answer text <p>While no specific assessment has been made, all abortion providers must comply with legal requirements and take regard of any statutory guidance related to children, young people and vulnerable adults. All independent sector abortion providers are inspected by the Care Quality Commission and safeguarding systems and processes are included in its termination of pregnancy inspection framework. Providers must ensure that all staff are trained in recognising the signs of potential abuse in adult women and know how to respond. This includes identifying women who may require more support, such as those who are subject to sexual violence or poor social support or where there is evidence of coercion.</p><p>The Department commissioned the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health to develop new safeguarding guidance for those aged under 18 years old accessing telemedicine abortion services, which was published on 30 August. The guidance will ensure there is consistency across all abortion services and providers in the implementation of robust safeguarding pathways. All abortions performed in England must be notified to the Chief Medical Officer within 14 days. Cases that exceed the legal limit of 10 weeks gestation and above are identified once HSA4 abortion notification forms are submitted by practitioners to the Chief Medical Officer. The Department will contact the practitioner to confirm these details and the abortion notification system is updated, if necessary.</p> answering member constituency Sleaford and North Hykeham answering member printed Dr Caroline Johnson question first answered 26/09/2022 10:46:21 answering member 4592 label Biography information for Dr Caroline Johnson

By the end of the year, we will have spent £340m helping traders process 2.3 million customs declarations through the Trader Support Service for trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. But this just reduces the burden on NI purchasers and GB suppliers rather than removing it, which is why we need changes to the Protocol to deliver a sustainable solution.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth West answering member printed Conor Burns question first answered 07/09/2022 12:51:37 answering member 3922 label Biography information for Sir Conor Burns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2022 answer text <p>Iran has been in non-compliance with its nuclear commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) since 2019 and its nuclear programme has never been more advanced than it is today. Iran's escalation of its nuclear activities is threatening regional and international peace and security and undermining the global non-proliferation system.</p><p>There has been is a viable deal on the table since March which would return Iran to compliance with its JCPoA commitments and return the US to the deal. The deal would reverse Iran's nuclear escalation, return Iran's nuclear programme to strict JCPoA limits and restore extensive monitoring by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Iran has so far refused to conclude the deal and continued its nuclear escalation. If Iran fails to conclude the deal its nuclear escalation will cause the collapse of the JCPoA. In this scenario we would carefully consider all options in partnership with our allies.</p> answering member constituency Cannock Chase answering member printed Amanda Milling question first answered 05/09/2022 13:26:29 answering member 4454 label Biography information for Dame Amanda Milling
